Since Chac posted this song a few nights ago, it has stuck in my head. The song was released in 1980 when I was young and going to the gym and in the best shape of my life. And I was “partaking” in some of the seedier activities in New York City at clubs, back room bars and baths all the while this song was playing in the background. Indeed I thought it ironic as I heard the lyrics:
”I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes
Lookin' for traces of what I'm dreaming of
Hoping to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover another heart
Lookin' for love
And I was alone then, no love in sight
And I did everything I could to get me through the night
Don't know where it started or where it might end
I turned to a stranger just like a friend
I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
Lookin' for love in too many faces
Searchin' their eyes
Lookin' for traces of what I'm dreaming of
Hoping to find a friend and a lover
I'll bless the day I discover another heart
Lookin' for love”
It's funny Mike that you mention the "seedy" parts of NYC, HBO Max just released a documentary about the Meatpacking district, it's called "The Stroll". I started watching it this weekend, very good so far.
